Dividend Growth Stocks: The Best-Kept Secret on Wall Street [View article]
A new era is starting with blue chip tech stocks either raising their dividends or introducing them for the first time. Blue chip tech is now mature enough to understand their influence in gaining low-cost financing to grow via acquisitions, and maintain stock unit value by slowing and steadily increasing their dividend pay outs. P/E focus is being replaced by cash-flow and dividend growth valuations.
We are more likely coming out of a recession than going into a recession. This does not make it easier to value SPY, but lowers the risk of a severe market correction.

Why You Shouldn't Jump Into The Shark-Infested Waters Around Nokia [View article]
